Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryMAXINE MARGARET PAVOT It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the passing of Maxine Margaret Pavot (nee Kirby). Maxine was born in Saint-Jean, QC and always loved to tell the tale of the "Limey" named Maxine who was born in Quebec, Canada. On Saturday, February 24, 2018, by God's good graces, Maxine did not suffer long and passed away at home. 'Maxi-Mom' leaves behind her four children: Laura Parkes (Harvey), Shannon Corby (Dirk), Jamie (Jo Elle) and Carissa. Maxine had 13 amazing grandchildren and eight beautiful great-grandchildren, all of whom will miss her dearly. Maxine was predeceased by Bill Pavot, Brinn Corby and her parents, Madge and John Janzen. The family would like to pay a heartfelt thanks to those who attended to her in the final years, months and days, specifically Shannon who shared her home with Mom and Carissa who assisted Mom and Shannon in Mom's final moments. As so many of Maxine's friends and family would expect Maxine passed away as she lived, on her own terms, at home and with an endearing feisty defiance. Each of us carry a different memory of their Mom/Gramma/friend - and in those thoughts, Maxine will live forever. Maxine did not want a funeral service. Her loving family spent a thoughtful evening in remembrance of her as we know she would've wished. Thank you for being our Mom, Gramma and friend. E.J. Coutu & Co. Funeral Directors 204-253-5086

To Lori, Shannon, Jamie and Carissa. I was very saddened to learn of your mom's passing today through the Wpg Free Press. I know that you are all too young to remember but my mom, Mona Fournier, was a very close friend of your mom's many years ago. They met in the 1960s when they became next door neighbors on Desautels Street in St. Boniface. It was an instant friendship that lasted until my mom passed away in 1977. Maxine would often come over to our kitchen for coffee with my mom - almost every day they saw each other. I remember Maxine very well and I always thought that she was a very nice and very pretty lady. Just like my mom! They were a very good match. They laughed a lot together. As a young teen, I remember babysitting Lori and Shannon during summer vacation when your mom had moved away to an apartment off of Desmeurons St. In St Vital, and was working. I also remember when your mom met Bill and they moved into a house in North St. Boniface. I think it was on Notre Dame St. or maybe Dumoulin. By chance I became friends with Maxine on Facebook. Over the last year or so it was so nice to be in touch. Being in touch with Maxine brought back many memories and made me feel close to my mom again. Because they had been such close friends. I very recently posted an old photo of my mom on Facebook. Maxine saw it and commented on it. She also messaged me to ask me if I would be willing to send her a photo of my mom because she never had one. We talked a little back-and-forth and she told me that my mom was and still is to this day her very best friend. She said that they were kindred spirits and I truly believe that. Maxine and I made plans to meet and talk more about my mom and share memories. She gave me her address and I planned to send her a photo of my mom in the mail. I was so so saddened today to see that she passed away. I'm so sorry that I never got a chance to see her again. I did not know of her health condition. I know this is a long story and will probably seem strange to you because chances are none of you remember me. I also had a younger sister named Jackie. She too remembers Maxine fondly and remembers all of you kids. Perhaps Lori as the eldest may have some memory of us but even then I'm not sure. However I just wanted to express my condolences to all of you and to say that I remember your mom as a wonderful lady. I am certain that she and my mom Mona are reuniting somewhere for a very long talk over a good cup of coffee! Take care all of you. Nicole. - Posted by: Nicole (Nicky) Fournier (Friend) on: Mar 05, 2018
